East Ohio Conference
Board of Ordained Ministry
Seminary Student Scholarships
Scholarships are available for East Ohio Conference Seminary
Students. There is a common application for all the scholarships
administered by the Board of Ordained Ministry. Scholarships are
awarded in June for the subsequent academic year.
Four scholarship funds are administered by Board of Ordained
Ministry. The number of scholarships awarded is based on the
investment income. In recent years income has been sufficient to
provide multiple awards from two of the scholarship funds.
These scholarships are intended to be over and above any regular
assistance to seminary students and are paid directly to the
seminarian.
